RE: almost my first and now a recovery problem
If she was really laboring to run, im afraid you may have made a fatal shot. I would either go talk to the property owner and plead your case. If that doesn't work i would be going it at 3am while they are asleep looking for the doe, don't just give up. Exhaust any and all possibilites before throwing in the towel. Best of luck finding her, please let us know how it turns out.
